My wife was looking at the properties of #ellipses such as the one where the sum of the distance of all points on the #ellipse from the two foci are the same and how that relates to the standard equation of an ellipse and so I showed her using my scribbly #handwriting and untidy drawings. Unfortunately, it didn't quite hit home and so I wrote these notes up neatly using #LaTeX, which did do the trick.

To put it up here, I converted the #PostScript pages to #PNG format using #GNU #Gimp and the figure was produced using #Tgif.

March 09, 2022 – JabRef Accepted for Google Summer of Code 2022

Great news! JabRef got accepted as an open source organization for this year’s Google Summer of Code (GSoC). The goal of this annual program is to give university students and now in 2022, for the first time, other people the opportunity to learn about and get involved in open source development. People will work three months on a project for an open source organization and are mentored by members of the project. It is a great honor for JabRef to be part of this program for the third time.
